Sunnyvale: Man shot to death in city's first homicide of the year

SUNNYVALE -- Police are searching for the person responsible for the city's first homicide of the year after a man was shot to death early Saturday at a local park.

Around 2:30 a.m., officers responded to Encinal Park for reports of a shooting, according to Sunnyvale Capt. Jeffrey Hunter. When police arrived, they found a man suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Though police and paramedics attempted CPR, the man was pronounced dead at the scene. He has not been identified.

As police canvassed the area, a second shooting victim — a woman -- was found. She was taken to Valley Medical Center with nonlife threatening injuries. She is expected to make a full recovery, Hunter added.

Though police continue to investigate the shooting, Hunter said the incident could be gang-related. No one has been arrested.

This is Sunnyvale's first homicide of the year.
